"today," tuesday, june 11th,
7:01 am
2013. and good morning. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. i'm savannah guthrie. >> and i'm matt lauer along with natalie morales and we are following the breaking news out of washington, some serious allegations this morning facing the state department. >> according to internal state department memos the agency might have called off or intervened an investigation into possibly illegal and inappropriate behavior within its ranks allegedly to protect jobs and avoid scandals, this concerns the time that hillary clinton was secretary of state. we want to get right to nbc's chief white house correspondent chuck todd with the latest. good morning to you. >> there's an old saying in washington the coverup is worse than the crime but in this case both parts of it are disturbing, allegations of prostitution and
7:02 am
pedophilia and allegations that those crimes were somehow covered up or not looked into, so the state department this morning is having to respond to those claims and those investigations about misconduct by state department officials including by an ambassador and security agent attached to then secretary of state hillary clinton and the allegations are these investigations were whitewashed, quashed all together and that those orders came from high up. nbc news has obtained documents related to ongoing investigations into some disturbing allegations involving state department personnel and at least one ambassador. state department memo says the ambassador "routinely ditched his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from both prostitutes and minor children." the memo also says a top state department official directed department investigators to "cease the investigation" into the ambassador's conduct. it's just one of what another document describes as "several
7:03 am
examples of up due influence" from top state officials. on monday a state department spokesperson would not confirm specific investigations. >> i'm not going to talk about specific cases but i can say broadly the notion that we would not vigorously pursue criminal misconduct in any case is preposterous. >> reporter: a former investigator for the department's inspector general has complained to congress and the media that the investigations have not been thorough because of the pressure from those high level officials. >> we take every allegation of misconduct seriously and we look into it. >> reporter: it was less than six months ago that another major internal investigation painted hillary clinton's state department in a negative light, that scathing report on the failed diplomatic security procedures in the aftermath of the benghazi attack. >> what difference at this point does it make? it is our job to figure out what happened. >> as we noted the whistleblower in this case, a member of the inspector general investigative team at the state department,
7:04 am
she's gone to congress demanding an investigation and it's our understanding congressman ed royce, the leader republican in house foreign relations says he does plan on having an investigation and no doubt hearings are probably going to come soon as well, savannah. >> chuck, where are we on this, at this point allegations from one whistleblower, have they been substantiated in any way? >> the whistleblower says that this report that the internal investigation having to do with how diplomatic security even investigated these allegations, that's where this scathing report came from, it's how the investigators somehow dropped the investigations, including into this ambassador and on to some other including folks part of security detail so the allegations themselves haven't been fully substantiated by us but this inspector general whistleblower believes the evidence was clear but the problem was the investigation wasn't done in time to find out for sure if this misconduct was happening. >> more to come on this for sure, chuck todd, thank you very much. all right and we are
7:05 am
following new developments this morning on that story surrounding those secret government surveillance programs. this morning, there's word that the man who exposed that program has even more to reveal. andrea mitchell is nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent. andrea, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt, the intelligence community is assessing the damage and trying to learn mr. edward snowden acted alone. critics are asking how he got through all the filters to be hired in the first place and why he was able to steal so many secrets undetected. the 29-year-old man who jolted the u.s. intelligence community is reportedly preparing to release more top secret documents. according to "the gartd's" glenn greenwald more sensitive information will be made public in the next several weeks or months. edward snowden is already a wanted man for revealing national security secrets and with snowden's last known address in the u.s., this rented house in hawaii but snowden and his girlfriend moved out last month according to a real estate agent. >> he mentioned that he worked for the government.
7:06 am
>> reporter: agents visited his father's home near allentown, pennsylvania, monday and snowden's mother's house miles from nsa headquarters in ft. lee. >> he was a nice young man, very clean-cut, hard-working. >> reporter: snowden was last seen in hong kong speaking to glenn greenwald of "the guardian." the chinese territory has an extradition treaty with the u.s. but ian williams reports it means he could not be returned months. >> reporter: no action can be taken until there's a charge. >> reporter: in an interview with is alon.com, laura poitras thinks snowden came forward because "he didn't want to create a situation where he was anonymous and everyone would have investigated." snowden supporters rallying say he was a whistleblower. critics say that's not true.
7:07 am
>> you don't copy classified documents and make a run for the border. >> all senators are invited to a briefing today in the face of congress narrowing these programs. >> andrea thank you. bill o'reilly author of the new book "kennedy's last days" good to see you, good morning. >> thank you. >> let's pick up where andrea just left off, edward snowden, does he deserve to be prosecuted or a whistleblower who deserves the protection? >> he violated u.s. law and he may have done a good thing, but jury is going to have to decide. whether awe rest him because he may have violated a law but done a good thing. it's gray area. you can violate the law sometimes and do a good thing but you have to convince the jury why you did what you did and why it was noble. >> he says it's important for people to know about this program so they can debate it.
7:08 am
james clapper, the chief of intelligence says no, he's done severe damage to our national intelligence. >> i don't kno't know. how can i possibly know? i haven't seen the evidence. we don't know what the government's doing yet. we know what he says this guy, snowden, but we don't know if it's true so we have to see if the government is seizing everybody's e-mail. now if the government's doing that, the government's breaking the law. so this guy becomes a hero but if the government's got doing and the guy is lying then he's a criminal. >> we know the government is collecting data, mining data on the origin, destination, things like that. >> right. >> and the government says it's essential to our national security. if the government said we're listening in on phone calls. >> against the fourth amendments. >> but it's thwarted terrorist
7:09 am
attacks. how would you feel? >> it's unconstitutional. you just can't say oh we're protecting everybody so we'll throw the constitution out the window. that's the key issue, 51% in a pew poll said they should monitor activity and 62% say they should investigate possible terrorist threats even if that means intruding on privacy so clearly they understand security doesn't come without a price. >> everybody understands that but you have to have definition and the definition is our constitution. it can't be seizing mass e-mail and sorting it out in utah. is it true?
7:10 am
we don't know. unfortunately the obama administration doesn't tell us anything, if they are seizing mass e-mail under fisa warrants -- >> do you think there's less transparency under this administration than past administrations? >> i don't know. i don't know what happened in benghazi, i don't know what happened with the irs or james rosen. i don't know what happened and they won't tell us anything. >> you think those are unrelated stories that can't be tied together or do you think as some critics say this is a second term in full reverse because of abuses of power? >> all i know is it's chaos, scandal du jour. what day is it, tuesday? now we have hillary clinton running around with a belgian ambassador. >> we'll have a full segment in an hour in your new book about kennedy. when you deal with a subject line jfk, for a group of readers too young to remember jfk or jfk junior, how do you make it relatable to them? >> pictures.
7:11 am
we have stunning pictures in this kids book called "kennedy's last days," and you see the glamour of jfk and jackie and they see real people and the villain oswald. you have to arrest the children's attention by visuals in the age of the internet. that's what we've been able to do in this book. when they get interested in those people they want to find out what happened to them. >> we'll talk at greater length about that. >> i'm in your dressing room? i get to use your dressing room. look at lauer, i don't want anybody in that dressing room. >> the drawers are locked. >> with bolts. >> appreciate it. savannah. >> matt, thank you. there is new activity at the south african hospital where nelson mandela is being treated. more family is arriving. south africa's current president gave an update on his condition. keir simmons is in pretoria, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that update from south africa's
7:12 am
president said he met with the medical team last night and that he is confident they are doing their best to make nelson mandela better. they have increased the security here, the policing, we think in order to protect nelson mandela and also to protect visitors to him. in the last hour or so we have seen winnie mandela, his ex-wife, wife of 27 years come to the hospital for a second day and one of his daughters who is ambassador to argentina for south africa we understand has been flying back here to be at the hospital, and nelson mandela's current wife hasn't been seen since saturday when nelson mandela was rushed to the hospital. we believe she is by his bedside. you get the sense of the family gathering around, this fathers of the nation, his children and grandchildren around him as doctors administer intensive care but still as we understand it, no sign of improvement.
7:13 am
i just want to read you, savannah, one statement this morning from the former archbishop desmond tutu and fellow nobel prize winner. he is saying in his statement he is praying for nelson mandela's comfort and dignity and saying we offer thanks to god for the extraordinary gift of mr. mandela, and wish his family strength. >> keir simmons, thank you very much. natalie has new information on a hot button issue. the federal government will not stop women of any age from buying the so-called morning after pill without a prescription. the obama administration says it will comply with the new york judge's order allowing unrestricted purchase of the emergency contraceptive. riot police in istanbul are cracking down on protesters as clashes break out. richard engel is in taksim square with the latest. >> reporter: the clashes are

8:37 am
that's why we bought a subaru. (announcer) love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. we're back at 8:37 with the question many couples struggle with. how many children should you have? an ad in this weekend's new york times is one of the most e-mailed stories this morning. written by lauren sandler an only child herself and mother of one. it explores the stereo types of raising siblingless kids. we'll talk to her in a moment. but first her story. >> i have a five-year-old daughter. she's a lot of fun. she's my only child. at least for now. we're really happy the three of us. i mean, i can imagine wanting to have another child. i love babies and i know she would be an incredible older sibling but the three of us have a very special relationship.
8:38 am
we're very close. i really loved my only childhood. i got to have my parent's attention without them having to divide it too much. they were engaged with me. i don't recall wishing i had a sibling when i was a kid. when i was an adolescent i sometimes wanted a teammate and now that i'm older and i think about confronting my parents aging alone. that's a little bit of a stress. my mother's feeling was that in order to be a really good mother she had to be a really happy person and for her, these were choices that made sense to her and i think that as parents and especially mothers, we lose sight of our own happiness so easily and it's something that i'm really trying to protect not just for myself but also for my whole family. honestly the only way you can make those choices is to know yourself and know your kid and to listen to your heart. >> and lauren sandler is with us
8:39 am
now. her new book is called one and only. the freedom of having an only child and the joy of being one. lauren, dpoorng, it's good to see you. >> good morning. >> this is such an interesting topic. the first question i have is do you think there's still that stigma about being an only child or having just one child? >> totally. it's like the only stereo type that survived political correctness and what's interest as good how erroneous it is. there are so many studies, hundreds of them done over decades that shows that only children aren't that different than anyone else. >> the wrap always was maybe they're lonely and some said they're more self-absorbed, the theory being they don't have to compete with their siblings. >> we don't have to. only children have a primary relationship with themselves so that solitude can be very strengthening. >> one of the things i know you did is look at the research out there and if anything you found that the research demonstrates
8:40 am
there maybe a benefit to being an only child in terms of an array of different attributes. >> only children tend to be higher achieving and have higher intelligence but more so, i think that the issue is really that we think there's something wrong with only children. it's not that there's something wrong with only children and there's nothing wrong and there are benefits too. >> so far we have been talking about the effect on the child. you also talk about the effect on parents and what you write is a lot of parents feel guilty for only having one child. >> it's true. culture tells you to. strangers will say to me you wouldn't do that to your child. i think it's wonderful. we have a happy family and i'm a happy mother for it. >> you make an array of arguments on behalf of having one child. one is economic and it is true that children are defensive and by default more children are more expensive. >> it's true. >> what did you find of the
8:41 am
difference in terms of having one child in terms of the economic burden. >> in terms of economic burden, that's everyone's personal choice. this all is of course. so children are very expensive and if you want to have them, you'll make it work. but if you don't want to have them, i just want people to know that it's okay. >> well, you explore all facets of this and there are down sides too and one of the things was you writing about the notion of losing your parents one day and when you are an only child there is that potential that you lose your parents and you're alone in the world. >> it's true. i'll have my husband and daughter and very dear friend who is are like family but there does seem to be an unreconcilable sort of hole in your heart when you think about that. but to me it's a question of whether that is a reason enough to have another kid and for my family i don't think it is. for others it might be. >> so what's your message to parents thinking about this and maybe feel the societal pressures to have an additional child.
8:42 am
>> ignore society, pay attention to the research but most of all pay attention to your heart and do what you want for your own freedom and life and family. >> it's an interesting conversation to say. thank you lauren. the book is called one and only. coming up next, they combine forces and spill the beans on their summer grilling secrets. but first, this is today on nbc.
8:43 am
8:44 am

8:45 am
why didn't you get a book credit? >> it's all about bob y. i just came for looks. >> first of all, you just also did a little cooking for the president last week. >> i did. for the president and the president of china as well. >> how did that go? >> it was a great honor. >> what did you make? >> that's me saying, how do you guys want your steaks cooked? i made a hottererhouse, lobster tamales. and pie. all american. >> let's start with some of the questions via twitter. the first one concerns corn on the cob. what's the best way to grill corn on the cob? this comes from terry. apparently we have a disagreement right off the bat. >> in all fairness, both ways are fine. >> yes. but this is the shortcut i shuck my corn, blanch it, salt and
8:46 am
pepper and put it on an oiled grill. >> i grill with the husks on so it sometimes and gets a smoky flavor. and roasted pepper butter. >> does it affect the flavor husk on or husk off? >> i think giada's way will get more heat and texture. this way you will get the perfume of the smoke. >> depends what you like. >> another grilling question from kristen. she tweeted, do you have to oil the food and the grill to prevent food from stick something. >> we disagree here completely. go ahead, giada. >> why start that way? honestly! what i like to do is oil the grill. i'm going to move bobby's corn over. and i just take paper towel with oil and brush it. >> do you then oil the food?
8:47 am
>> no, i do not. >> i'm cooking ribs here. what i like to do is take a little bit of oil and i oil the food itself. what's a really good point -- >> tell me what the problem is. >> it creates a gray smoke so you have to make sure it dissipates. >> there's no gray smoke. i just did it. >> i didn't see a big thing of gray smoke to be perfectly honest with you. this one is from luke. tweets this question to beth of you. what is your guys's favorite barbecue sauce. >> okay. why don't we go down here. and i will make you the barbecue sauce. mine is -- >> raspberries. what are those for? >> in the summertime, this is a great way to use them up. i'm using raspberries, ketchup.
8:48 am
we both agree there's going to be ketchup in barbecue saw. >> so it's sweet. >> it is sweet. balsamic vinegar. >> this is for meat? meat and chicken. >> i like it for chicken and lamb. >> good. that's yours. bobby, what's your favorite barbecue sauce? mine is tomato based. i like it deep that's smoky and fiery. i use smoked chiles and molases. >> do you disagree you put it on before and during the grilling? >> i do mine before. >> i do it before and during and after. you know what, in all fairness, he has a barbecue book out.
8:49 am
so chances are -- i'm handing it to you. >> thank you very much. coming up, a live performance from andre bocelli. today on wow, the track looks perfect. now we just need guests. yeah, so they can race! hey! kachow! bellissimo! guido! our tires are a-flying! whooooaaaaaa little tractors, dance! they're here! it is time! there's high-octane fun for everyone at cars land. only at disney california adventure park. dontcha just love that new park smell?

8:52 am

good news morning to you, 8:56, i'm laura garcia-cannon. breaking news in santa clara, giving you a live look at the 49ers stadium where police are investigating a deadly industrial accident. this is at the new levi's 49ers stadium. a crew there tells us an elevator worker was hit while working in an elevator shaft and killed this morning. construction site has now been
8:57 am
completely closed for the day. this is video just into our newsroom from the scene. crews headed actually home for the day. again, a deadly industrial accident at the new 49ers stadium that is under construction in santa clara. going to bring you new information on this breaking news story as we have reporter bob redell at the scene gathering it for us right now. we will have more information throughout the morning.
8:58 am
8:59 am
9:00 am
welcome to today on this tuesday morning, june 11th, 2013. good-looking morning anyway outside. >> add good-looking crowd. >> always a good-looking crowd outside; best looking crowd we've had. >> you don't say that every day. inside studio 1-a i'm willy geist along with al and natalie. time for today's take three. we start with something at the top of the headlines this morning. it's about the morning after pill. the obama administration, the justice department and fda reversing course on this now and saying it will not challenge this court ruling that said the
9:01 am
morning after pill can be sold over the counter without age restrictions. >> now it will be available to all ages without a prescription. critics, a lot of people questioning if this is open to anyone at any age. >> it's disturbing. i have a 14-year-old daughter and i'm not comfortable with the idea that she can just go and buy this. it goes to obviously other issue as well, but i think it kind of, almost in a way removes the parents from part of the process. >> i think that this is more reason as parents for you to be very that conversation at a much earlier age at home with your kids about what happens so they hopefully don't have to turnover to the morning after pill, you know? but it certainly i think is a conversation a lot of parents will be having with their kids. we were just talking. now my son in third grade were having sex ed in school.
9:02 am
third grade? >> did he ask you about it. >> oh boy. it was an interesting conversation. i happened to be in the car with somebody driving and he was mom, is that really how it happens, yes, yeah, that's how it happens. can we change the subject right now? >> how about the power rangers? >> can i talk to you about this later? >> i remember my dad. we had gone fishing. i was about 12 years old. i think you're mature enough to have this talk. >> and i'm thinking if we leave now -- i think fred and barny are calling me here. >> we skipped that talk. i'm glad we did. they say it's totally safe for young people. it's more a parenting issue if you want your minor to be able to go into a drugstore and purchase this. >> the morning after pill prevents ovulation or fertilization of an egg. it has no effect in you're already pregnant. nothing will happen in that case. >> that noise, that's andrea
9:03 am
bocelli's piano being moved. >> it's rude. rude noises off camera. >> sounded like number seven. >> i wasn't thinking about the number seven. >> got to love it. roll it right out of here. do what you do. let's go on to take two. for men, 43 is the magic number. the study finds that men finally grow up, whatever that means by the age of 43. >> which means you're still an adolescent at 38? >> i'm a teenager at this point. women apparently reach adult hood at age 32. 11 years earlier. >> i agree. >> with me it's easy, june 14th, 2007, the birth of my first child. >> we adopted courtney i remember, you know, there was nobody in the backseat and then there was a baby in the backseat and i thought i guess i'm an
9:04 am
adult now. >> right and i would think that also buying your first house, i think for a lot of people. having real property or assets or debt can also certainly i think bring that on but for me it with was bringing home josh as well. >> having said all that, 43 is pretty late for us to grow up, isn't it? >> yeah, peter pan syndrome. >> if you put it in perspective, matt damon, vince vaughn, will arnette turning 43 this year. they're becoming adults. >> so match them up with with beyonce. >> the women turning 32, bejo beyonce, natalie portland, brittney spears and paris hilton. >> the first seem older only because they have been in the public consciousness so young. but they started young. >> and with the way they carry themselves. >> and i think women are more
9:05 am
mature -- we know women are more mature than guys. >> beyonce to me seems ageless and timeless and i'm only shocked hen i hear she is turning 32. >> she carried her way like that for so long. >> your point about the backseat, i'll never forget leaving the hospital with lucy and i have her in the car seat and the nurse says good luck. that's the heaviest good luck ever. good luck raising this child for the rest of her life. >> where's the manual, where's the instructions. what happens if this breaks? is there a warranty. >> that's the moment when we grow upright there. take three -- >> speaking of our kids -- >> do you have a favorite child? according to a new survey parents admitted. 34% of moms and 28% of dads say they do, in fact, have a favorite child. i don't think we'll get anyone on this panel to admit at this point. >> i will admit at certain times you relate to one child better than another. i mean, there's a certain tough
9:06 am
age, the 2 to 3 year age where, you know, the terrible 2s, terrible 3s where it can be difficult and taxing on a parent and also children tend to have favorites when it comes to their parents. >> sure. >> both of my children favor their dad. they do. daddy plays. mommy is -- >> well, i think they favor you for different things. >> if they have a boo boo or problem. >> at the end of the day you watch every football player when they score that touchdown, is it dad? no, mom. hi mom, mom i love you. da dad. >> they don't tell you it's not the twos. it's the threes. >> it's a delayed reaction. >> it's the everything. i have a 26, a 14 and a 10 -- >> 18 is bad too. 21. >> my dad used to say little kids little problems and big
9:07 am
kids, bigger problems. i'm telling you, you want fear and terror the first day you hand your car keys to your kid -- thankfully courtney, my oldest had no interest in driving, thank god because she is a horrible driver. >> courtney, you didn't hear that. >> she is a magnificent chef and wonderful daughter. she can't drive to save her life. >> she's a city kid. >> she's a city kid. >> good thing she has a subway option. >> exactly. metro car is her best friend. >> courtney, did you hear any of that? >> but she also is my favorite. >> there it is. there it is. >> so there you go. you copped to it. admit it. >> no, different times, different times -- >> yeah. different times. sometimes there's a strong bond and other times. when you're putting them to bed -- >> that's when they're the best. >> yeah. >> when they're going out, you are the best.
9:08 am
i can't believe i lived my life without you and then 12 hours later, this kid is driving me nuts. >> go to school. bye. >> go see your mother. >> works every time. natalie, how about a look at the other headlines. >> let's get to the news this morning. there maybe more revelations to come from the leaked documents from the nsa surveillance documents. a manhunt is underway looking for edward snowden that gave secret documents to a reporter in hong kong. that reporter says new information will come out over the next few weeks. potential jurors are coming face to face with george zimmerman when asked what they know about the death of trayvon martin. he says he killed martin in self-defense. today is the second day of a lengthy jury selection process. zimmerman was in court as that process began. security tightened this morning at the hospital where former south african president nelson mandela is undergoing treatment

9:10 am
>> yeah, leave it there. leave it there. >> that's when you let the fishing rod just go. the orka caught on camera in alaska. i think the fisherman has a killer whale of a tale. >> you get one of those a week. >> just one? >> it's tuesday. >> you've met your pun quota for the week. >> not just one more. give me one on friday. >> all right. thanks. have a look at the weather al. >> we'll see what we got for you today. a risk of strong storms as we spin the earth. that beautiful blue marble and showers and thunderstorms making their way out of new england. that's good news. we are looking at showers making their way. we have a risk of strong storms today through the plains stretching through central indiana. gorgeous day from the mid-atlantic states through the gulf coast.

detrimental to our health. it raises the levels of cortisol and that can cause other problems. >> is there value in going back and trying to rectify regrets whether it's a year later or 20 years later? >> absolutely. it's the way we process them and what we think about them because what we learn from them, sometimes if it involves the person you can go back and talk to the person. you can say, you know, this is how i felt then, this is how i feel now and i ask your forgiveness or wish i had done it this way. you can open a dialogue. whether the person receives you, in the way you wanted to be received it's secondary to the fact that you have been able to try and let this go and move it to a different level. sometimes you're not able to but you can change your life in relation to what you learned from it and you can change your behavior which then will change your health ideally. >> sometimes people can be paralyzed by regret?
